These new [Shake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-7) Shack shakes are being launched by the brand to provide consumers with a way to satisfy their sweet tooth with some decidedly indulgent ingredients that don't skimp on rich flavor.

The shakes come in the new Wake & Shake flavor as well as the Chocolate Pie Shake, which are both being launched for a limited time only. The Wake & Shake option is achieved with Red [Bay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyme-bay-sparkling-mead) coffee that has been blended with the brand's frozen vanilla custard along with maple syrup and orange zest with a whipped cream and orange candy topping. The Chocolate Pie Shake, on the other hand, has a chocolate ganache toasted oat pie sourced from [Four & Twenty Blackbirds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boozy-baked-apple-pie) that's hands-on with chocolate frozen custard with a croissant cookie crumble topping.

The new Shake Shack shakes are priced around $6 each.
